Versatile Blogger Award.

I just received this blogger award from a very talented artist, Dean. He likes to create cute creatures. You can find his blog here -http://weespookeezdesign.blogspot.com  He walks you through some of his hardships and struggles during his process. Very interesting to watch him. Check him out. :) He is a very talented artist and a good friend to have around!

 Here is the award that he gave me... 

Thank you Dean! 

Now in order to accept this I must do a couple more things. 

I have to tell you seven things about myself. Okay. 

1. I'm a mother of 6

2. I do not like pink all that much

3. I want to live in a Victorian town in a Victorian home. 

4. I am married.

5. I am an artist in training.

6. I am not always normal.

7. I am a good friend. 

Now I will tell you who I am going to give this to.. 

I would like to give it to Dean again but I do not know if that is part of the rules! ;) 

So let me think of my other friends.

Oil Paint

I am working on a new painting. This weekend I wanted to bang my head against the wall because of it. But today I can kinda see it coming together. For me the hardest part about the paintings are getting it started. I struggle with that whole part of it. I have the same problems with trying to write a paper! The intro is always the hardest. :) Anywayyss.. I was mixing some greens because this painting is mainly GREEN. So I wanted the perfect green for me. I finally found it after mixing many different ones.. Van Dyke brown and Viridian (Hue)! So excited. Its a bit dark but I like it that way! I have a couple of things to do. I have to go to Wal Mart! Wal mart is enough to ruin my day. I also have to take some avon to a costumer. Then off to teach my art class. Then I can paint again. So I should go so I can paint for at least an hour more today before I have to join the rest of the world outside.. (saddness) I could stay in here all day and paint if they would let me.   Have a good day everyone! 

Bad Days Good Days

So I wrote a letter a couple of days ago. I reposted it just now because I decided that even if it sounds insane, contradicting or even stupid to others - I need to let it out. After I wrote it I felt 100% better about what I was going through. As a matter of fact I am not even sure I feel that way about some of what I said anymore! Getting it out really helped me out. I read something that someone else wrote on her blog. She writes all about her struggles and some of the things that she writes are a bit strange sounding to some I am sure. But to me - I found them interesting. So I am going to keep doing what I am doing. You can find her blog listed on the side in my blog list.

SALE

I put a bunch of my stuff on sale in my zibbet shop in case you are interested.. http://www.zibbet.com/TheArtOfNecking

Today I am working on a new painting. Here is my sketch that I started.. I will add more as I go along! Have a good day and happy painting everyone!

Get Busy!

How is everyone doing??

I really need to get busy. I poke around at all the other art blogs and I see everyone bustling around and getting the job done.... not me! I'm just sitting here watching the clouds go by..   They really are pretty though.  :) I might have an idea for a painting.. I have to watch the clouds go by a little bit longer first.

Fun in the snow! I was tired of shoveling it so I decided to create something out of it. 

1000 Visitors!

I have hit the 1000 visitors mark since I started my blog. I am sure me coming here and working on it all that put about 100 of those hits on here! Its okay though.. Pretty cool! :)
